Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s fans were elated in joy as soon as an Indian court on Thursday, 10 December, cleared him of killing a homeless man in a hit-and-run crash 13 years ago, acquitting him of all charges after he appealed his conviction.

Hundreds of Khan fans took it to the social media on Thursday to celebrate their hero’s acquittal of all charges in 2002 hit-and-run case.

However, ‘Twitter, which never passes up the chance to make a joke, is still keeping them coming a day later. The hashtag #SalmanVerdict was the top trend all of Thursday and was still trending on Friday morning’, reported NDTV.

‘Internet giant Google has been unwittingly drawn into the discussion online because of its self-driving car project which it says will be road tested and available to the public by 2020.’

‘Google can just retire its ambitious project, joked Twitter, because the 49-year-old actor invented the driverless car 13 years ago.’

‘Bhai had a driverless car in 2002..in your face google!!! #SalmanVerdict #SalmanWalksFree,’ twitted MuzzlewidMuffler.

‘Now it's official, Salman owned world's first driverless car in 2002 #SalmanVerdict’, twitted Always with Truth.

Anjana Om Kashyap twitted, ‘Finally we know ! The car was drunk.’

Labourer Nurulah Mahbob Sharif was killed and several others were injured when the vehicle ploughed into them at speed as they slept on a street in the suburb of Bandra West.

The multi-millionaire has been out on bail throughout the trial and appeal, the case seemingly not interfering with his career as one of the Indian movie industry’s biggest box-office draws.

Khan, 49, has starred in more than 100 films and television shows since his first hit ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ (I Fell in Love) in the 1980s.#
